He played at the Fur Peace Ranch or something like that in Ohio years ago, it’s an outdoor venue owned by a former member of Jefferson Airplane.

Rick has performed Love is Dangerous and Albatross regularly on his tours. And on one date he shared with Billy Burnette, they also performed Don’t Stop! As far as I know, he’s never performed Intuition live, which was a single from his album in the early 90s. That’s a great song, originally demoed for Behind the Mask.

He's only been a sideman the couple of times I've seen him. I would hope that he's set for life. I have no idea of his royalty situation, but Chevrolet used Bob Seger's Like A Rock in their truck commercials for at least a decade. That's Rick on the slide guitar. I don't recall ANY song ever being used that long for a brand.

Prolific?

Between Danny Kirwan’s firing and Billy Burnett and Rick Vito joining, the band released Penguin, Mystery to Me, Heroes Are Hard to Find, Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, Tusk, Mirage, and Tango In The Night. Not to mention The Visitor, Bella Donna, Law & Order, I’m Not Me, The Wild Heart, Go Insane, Christine McVie, and Rock A Little.

That was sixteen years, with four or five being mostly inactive for solo projects.

Christine was gone for sixteen years. The band released one album and an EP. Lindsey released three solo albums, Stevie two solo albums, and Mick two solo projects.

No, I wouldn’t call them prolific. Then again, I worked for some who releases a minimum of three albums a year, so I’m not the guy to ask.

Tragic? Not for the band, who made as much money as the Stones and from less work. But yes, tragic for us fans. I like the Stones too, new song Angry sounds ace. :)


Haha Steve. Yes - including solo work, they have been fairly prolific. Just NOT in their old age, unlike the Stones.

BuckVie was prolific for their 2017 tenure!
